It’s little secret that stepper motors are everywhere in FDM 3D printers, but there’s no real reason why you cannot take another type of DC motor like a brushless DC (BLDC) motor and use that instead.

Abstract: This article presents a simultaneous automatic synthesis (SAS) of robust controller and the pre-filter, 2-degree of freedom (DOF), involved in the quantitative feedback theory (QFT) approach ...

While Valve’s Steam Controller was ultimately a commercial failure, there’s no denying it’s an interesting piece of hardware. With dual trackpads, a wealth of buttons, and Bluetooth capability, it ...

Abstract: This article proposes a nonlinear model predictive controller (NMPC) combined with an augmented extended Kalman filter (AEKF) for sensorless brushless direct current (BLDC) motors. The ...

Pioneering studies suggested that motor information in the cortex is coded through the combined actions of large populations of widely tuned neurons rather than by small numbers of highly tuned ...
